Regalis Foods Careers in Long Island City, NY

Regalis Foods is New York City's leading importer of exceptional, elusive food products. Highlights of our portfolio include fresh truffles, uni, caviar, Japanese Wagyu, wild foraged edibles, and live exotic seafoods. Even as our reach widens and our team grows, Regalis remains deeply connected to our roots with founder Ian Purkayastha. As a teenager, Ian gained national recognition for rapidly elevating his infatuation with foraging wild mushrooms in small town Arkansas. While his peers decided where to attend university, Ian relocated to New York City to sell truffles in the country’s most competitive culinary market. It did not take long for Ian to cultivate a reputation that transcended his nickname of “truffle boy,” eventually working with nearly all of the city’s most revered Michelin starred restaurants for a range of rare products. In 2012, Regalis was born, swiftly growing to include offices and warehouses in Texas and Chicago, sustaining a wide range of chef collaborators including David Chang, Sean Brock, Melissa Rodriguez, and many more. In 2016, Hachette Books published Ian’s memoir, Truffle Boy: My Unexpected Journey Through the Exotic Food Underground.
